It shouldn't. Most production vehicles built from 1990 to date, have a "knock" sensor which accommodates different octane levels.

Do you get better gas mileage by car if you use higher octane gas?
Yes, higher octane gas does give higher gas mileage for your car. However, the increase in gas mileage may not as great as the increase in the price of the higher octane gas.
How much octane does regular gas have?
There is no octane in gasoline... it is the equivalent of octane.
How does octane percent affect a car?
octane is how volatile the gas is the higher the octane the bigger the boom and cleaner it burns
What octane gas?
Each car should have a recommended fuel octane in the owners manual.
Will mixing 91-octane gas and 87-octane gas damage your car?
Not really. Fill up with the "correct" octane when you run some fuel out of your ride.
What is the best octane or gas for my car Mitsubishi galant 1994 VR4?
93 octane all the way!
Can you use 91 octane gas on a 93 octane gas car?
New cars with knock sensors to adjust ignition timing can run on lower-octane fuel, but you lose power.
What octane gas does a 2002 Volkswagen beetle turbo take?
A 2002 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo takes 91 octane gas or higher. The manufacturer's recommended octane for this car will also be listed on the inside of the gas cap.
How much is the car gas in US?

Does high octane gas increase mileage?
Not unless the engine using it was specifically designed for it. Gas mileage takes many things into consideration, and if a car is designed to use standard octane gas, the use of high octane gas will not increase the car's mileage - it is just a way of figuratively blowing dollar bills out of the tailpipe.
How much water in gas tank will mess up car?
Depends on capacity of tank but not much. It is heavier than gas and will go to bottom where pick up is
If a car has been given a certain type of gas for a long time would it hurt to start giving it different type of gas?
It would only hurt if the car required 89 octane or 92 octane and you went to a lesser octane. Those cars are engineered to run on a higher octane. A car engineered for the lower 87 octane might actually see some performance improvement by going to a higher octane once or twice, because the higher octane will help to clean the injectors a "little". Not much though. Over all there is no real significance to using the higher octane. The higher the octane level, the "richer" or "heavier" the fuel is. So if the car is not manufactured for the higher octane, you will eventually cause carbon build up at a faster rate than normal.
